Course Overview

Supported by a large team of art museum and gallery specialists our Art Museum and Gallery Studies program takes museum studies in a new direction. It focuses entirely on art institutions from beginning to end. In doing so, it recognizes that art museums and galleries are distinctive kinds of institutions and that they are best understood in relation to other kinds of art institutions (biennials, art fairs, kunsthalles, and so on), rather than in relation to other kinds of heritage attraction. In this program, we pay equal attention to collection-focused art museums and to contemporary art institutions. Our aim is to prepare you for work in a wide range of careers in the art sector and to understand that art sector as it is now.
